If I were his piano teacher, I'd tell him to quit playing flat-wristed. He's got a ton of shoulder tension, too. The dude probably is terrible at his scales outside of the ones that fit the hand well like B and E major.

He's really got to get more of an elastic elbow. He has absolutely no power to his sound. He's playing from the base instead of allowing his weight to distribute sound into the right hand and the melody.

I could also dig at his improvisational choices, but that would take too much time.

He articulates very well, I will say that. If he used arm weight more to his advantage, he could have a much easier time using the bounceback of the piano keys to do the staccato for him. The fact that he plays so flat-wristed seems to me that he's doing all that work from fingers. Yes, you need active and energetic fingers to play good staccato, but he's gotta be doing more work than he needs to be doing. It's not efficient playing, which is preventing him from doing some REALLY cool things in his sound, like producing a solid forte with absolutely zero tension in his posture or his arms.

From listening, it appears he's a very intelligent individual who discovered voice leading completely on his own. It's a shame that he hasn't had more formal training, because this guy could have been REALLY good.

This pick was sooo freakin needed, the first time Hali or Houston go out the dissenters will be thanking their lucky stars we have a scary athlete ready to throw in.

Stack the defense, look at the dominant defenses of the last few years like the Giants of a few years ago or the current Seahawks, straight up loaded with pass rushers... anyone mad about this pick is smoking CRACK, you too, Sacc.
